Supermium is a fork (modification) of Google's open-source and free web browser Chromium, that was created for older operating systems such as Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Support for Windows 2000 is also planned.

Features

Aero Glass and Aero Glass-style titlebars instead of Windows 10-style ones
Security fixes for major vulnerability patches usually less than one week from being found
A functional sandbox for enhanced security
Custom Tab options including trapezoidal tabs, transparent tabs, and outlined tabs.
Many flags from ungoogled-chromium
Google Sync
On Windows 7 and up, Widevine CDM support for viewing DRM content
GDI font rendering, using #force-gdi in chrome://flags
Persistent dark mode on the browser's UI elements, using #force-dark-mode in chrome://flags
Support for SSE2-only processors in the 32 bit build

Critics at The Register said in a positive review that the browser ran rather fast for a Core 2 Duo processor.
